The Boxster S has received the majority of the press leaving the base Boxster out in the cold so to speak. This is the first test posted that PorscheBoost has come across featuring the base Boxster equipped with the 2.7 liter flat-6 putting out 265 horsepower and mated to the 6-speed manual transmission. Acceleration performance from this motor and transmission combo is a very respectable 14.0@103 in the 1/4 mile.

With the PDK transmission this would likely approach E46 M3 acceleration figures which is very impressive for a 265 horse motor. The 3035 pound curb weight certainly helps. Not just in acceleration but the handling figures as well with 1.01g pulled on the skidpad.

Even a stripped down Boxster does not come cheap at $66,100 as tested. This car is a great value in the Porsche lineup however and quite simply an excellent drivers car.
